I've always loved building things, and I've done so in my free time for ~15 years. These are some of things I've built. Some (most) have not seen resounding success, but I have learnt a lot from each of them.
Outside of these web projects, I am a programmer at heart. You can find some of the code I've written on my Github.
In 2022, I decided to apply to buildspace. I completed s4, and as part of the journey, I built my first SaaS product. It is a tool that allows customers to convert audio and video files to transcripts. I shut this down in 2024.
Visit TranscribeAudioI realised that South Africans have low to zero understanding of the access to healthcare they have, and the costs associated with it. I wanted to build a definitive resource for this information, but I am no longer motivated by the oppurtunity.
Visit WhatsCoveredIn late 2020, a friend and I saw the potential in generative AI, and built a LMS that would include context-specific AI tutors powered by the new GPT models. We didn't get any traction. As part of this project, I got to meet some cool founders in EdTech, and realised I didn't have the passion neccessary for the domain.
I built a freelancer marketplace alongside two other founders. We made a few matches, and collected some transaction revenue. But ultimately, we didn't understand the supply/demand curve in our sector well enough to tune the marketplace for success.
South African has a high unemployment rate, but has one of the highest screen-time statistics in the world. I wanted to build a resource that indexes job postings from various sources, alongside content (articles, videos, etc) that help job seekers improve their chances of getting a job. No longer actively working on this project.
